1 APPENDIX B GLOSSARY ADAAG: Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines. AOR: Assumption of Responsibility. AP (Access Provider): The operator of any facility that is used to convey telecommunications signals to and from a customers premise. Backbone: A facility (e.g. pathway, cable or conductors) between telecommunications rooms, or floor distribution terminals, the entrance facilities, and the equipment room within or between buildings. BAN: Base Area Network. BCO: Base Communications Officer. Boundary 1: Suite of network security components configured to provide perimeter security at the NMCI NOCs connecting NMCI to the NIPRNET and SIPRNET. Boundary 2: Suite of network security components configured to provide perimeter security at local sites connecting NMCI to legacy networks. CAA: Controlled Access Area. CADD: Computer Aided Design, Drafting. CIO: Chief Information Officer. CLIN: Contract Line Item Number. COINS: Communities of Interest Network Services. DF (Distribution Frame): Generic term for a common wiring interconnect point where cable routes can be changed and equipment interconnected. DP (Demarcation Point (or Demarc): This is the point at which the access providers network ends. Generally, this is where the access provider s maintenance responsibility ends. EDS (Electronic Data Systems): The prime contractor responsible for providing (building-maintaining) the Navy/Marine Corps Intranet. 35

2 EF (Entrance Facility): An entrance to a building for both public and private network cables (including wireless). It consists of the entrance point to the building and continues to the entrance room or space. EM: Electromagnetic. EMI: Electromagnetic Interference EMT: electrical metal tubing Entrance Room: A space in which the joining of inter- or intra- building telecommunications backbone facilities takes place. ECM Equipment Cooling Module. ER (Equipment Room): An environmentally controlled centralized space for telecommunications equipment that usually houses a main or intermediate crossconnect. The function of the ER, in NMCI terminology, is included in the EF or TR. Facility Contractor: The contractor(s) responsible for the new construction for the benefit of DoN, including new facilities, additions, or major renovations. FMD: Facilities Management Department. G6: USMC base communications officer. GFF: Government Furnished Facilities. GRS: galvanized rigid steel Horizontal Cabling: The cabling between and including the telecommunications outlet/connector and the horizontal cross-connect. IA: Information Assurance. IC (Intermediate Cross-connect): A cross-connect between first level and second level backbone cabling. IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame): NMCI common usage for the equipment that provides the access layer in the NMCI architecture. This guidance refers to it as the IC. IMC: Intermediate Metal Conduit IP (Internet Protocol): The Internet Protocol (IP) is the method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet. Each computer 36

3 (known as a host) on the Internet has at least one IP Address that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet. ISP (Inside Plant): Wiring and cabling located inside a building. ISP (Internet Service Provider): An ISP (Internet service provider) is a company that provides individuals and other companies access to the Internet and other related services. An ISP has the equipment and the telecommunication line access required to have a point of presence on the Internet for the geographic area served. IT: Information Technology LAA: Limited Access Area LAN: Local Area Network. MC (Main Cross-connect): A cross-connect for first level backbone cables, entrance cables, and equipment cables. MDF (Main Distribution Frame): NMCI Common usage for the equipment that provides the distribution layer in the NMCI architecture. This guidance refers to it as the MC. NAVFACENGCOM: Naval Facilities Engineering Command NCE: Network and Communications Engineer. NCTC: Naval Computer and Telecommunications Command (replaced by NNSOC) Network Operations Center (NOC): Control center for the NMCI network. In addition, under NMCI specialty usage, the NOC is the point of egress from the network. NIPRNET: Not-classified-but-sensitive Internet Protocol Router Network. NMCI: Navy and Marine Corps Intranet. NNSOC: Naval Network and space Operations Command (absorbed NCTC) NSTISSAM: OSP (Outside Plant): Wiring and cabling located outside and between buildings. PDS: Protected Distribution System. 37

4 POP (Point of Presence): The equipment room (ER) on a base without a server farm where the DP exists between the access provider and NMCI. It also contains the media conversion point between the public network and the NMCI network, the transport boundary and some of the network distribution routers and switches. PSQ: Preliminary Site Questionnaire. PWC: Public Works Center. PWD: Public Works Detachment. PWO: Public Works Office. RAA: Restricted Access Area ROICC: Resident Officer in Charge of Construction. SIPRNET: Secret Internet Protocol Router Network. SCM: Site Concurrence Memorandum. Server Farm: A location in the NMCI topology where all the servers required for content distribution and for network services are located. SM: Single mode. SPAWAR: Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command. SR: Secure Room TGB: Telecommunications Ground Bar. TPP (Technical Power Panel): In NMCI parlance, the dedicated power panel used to feed NMCI MC or IC equipment. TR (Telecommunications Room): An enclosed space for housing telecommunications equipment, cable terminations, and cross-connect cabling, that is the recognized location of the horizontal cross-connect. Transport Boundary: Suite of network security components configured to provide wide area network transport security. UAA: Unrestricted Access Area UFAS: Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards. UPS: Uninterruptible Power System. 38

5 USMC: United States Marine Corps. UFC UTP: Unshielded Twisted Pair. vbns+: is a specialized nationwide IP network that supports high-performance, high-bandwidth applications. Originating in 1995 as the very high performance Backbone Network Service (vbns), vbns+ is the product of a five-year cooperative agreement between WorldCom and the National Science Foundation. WAN: Wide area network. 39

7 1. This figure is not meant to be an all-inclusive representation of the telecommunications cabling system and is provided only as a typical example. 2. All cross-connects located in the telecommunications rooms (TRs) in this figure are horizontal cross-connects (HC's). 3. The equipment room (ER) for the POP would be connected to the access provider (AP) as in Building 1 in the example. 4. NMCI terminology/function has been limited to EFs and TRs. The function of the ER is included within the EF or TR. 40
